Solve the equation: 7(3x+2)=18-(x+48)

7(3x + 2) = 18 - (x + 48)

Distribute on both sides. On the left side, multiply each term in parentheses by 7. On the right side, a negative sign to the left of parentheses is as if a -1 is there, and you must multiply everything inside the parentheses by -1.

7(3x + 2) = 18 -1(x + 48)

21x + 14 = 18 - x - 48

21x + 14 = -x - 30

22x = -44

x = (-44)/22

x = -2

x = -2

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
